[HOWTO]Labeling picture (date and costum label)

[thaysen13]

Hi
I want to label my pictures.
I have found that with th command identify I know the date the picture was taken.
and with convert you can add labels to you image.
But how can you set the date on the left of a picture and the costum label in the middle.
I have already this as code https://imgur.com/gDXIACV
Please help

What version of Imagemagick are you using - it would probably be simpler with V7?

Posting your code here is easier for somebody to try it rather than working from an image.

Create two images from your text with transparent backgrounds using label:. The composite them one at a time using -gravity and -geometry to place them where you want.

Alternately, write the text using -draw or two sets of -annnotate to put the text directly on your image.

Can you post an example command how to do it please?

You still did not say what version you are using. This will print the date and time on the image ( V7 only ) getting the data from the image:

Code: Select all

magick input.jpg -gravity northwest -annotate +0+0 "%[EXIF:DateTime]" output.jpg

With V6 you would need to read the datetime into a variable first.

Where are you getting your custom data from?

Never mind you did not answer my question or post your code here as requested.

Try this

Code: Select all

convert logo: -font Arial -pointsize 24 -fill black \
-gravity southwest -annotate +10+10 "Dec. 26, 2017" \
-gravity south -annotate -50+50 "Custom Text" \
logo_annotate.jpg

Thanks guys i am using the imagemagick 6.2 i think

[thaysen13]

I want to make somthing like this but with 2 labels.
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/annotating/#annotating (first example)
And all the picture I have are different sizes

Code: Select all

 convert foto3.jpeg -pointsize 12 -background Khaki -fill black -gravity southwest-annotate0 "date" \
 	-gravity south -annotate 0 "costum text" foto3.jpeg

The only thing that isn't working is the background

"-background" is relevant for "label:" (which creates a new image), but not for "-annotate" (which modifies an image that already exists).

Thanks i am trying to do it with stroke

[thaysen13]

This is what i got:

Code: Select all

convert fotog.jpeg -pointsize 15 -gravity south -background white \
-fill black label: lksdfjfdjsfs  \
 -gravity southwest label: datum -append foto35.jpeg

the result is:

I tried this also

Code: Select all

convert fotog.jpeg -pointsize 15 -gravity south -background white \
-fill black label: lksdfjfdjsfs -append  \
 -gravity southwest label: datum -append foto35.jpeg

that result is this:

I want the date left and the costum label in the middle but the problem is that they are not on the same line can anyone help with this?

[snibgo]

After appending the first label, create the second label, but don't append it. Instead, composite it over the image, eg:

Code: Select all

convert toes.png label:Centre  -gravity South -append label:left -gravity southwest -composite out.png

Pease don't start new threads asking a question you have already asked. I've deleted your other threads.

Thanks for the answer I got it know!

-annotate uses -undercolor, if you want to put a different color under the text. So you can go back to my original two -annotates, if you want.
